Second, it is written in alphabetical order, which makes it highly readable and easy to use. Finally, it has a distinctly synthetic character, with abundant doctrinal references that allow the reader to consult the major authors on the subject from each entry. It is therefore an indispensable tool for legal historians. Note, in the opening entry for \"absent,\" the book presents a fine presumption derived from Roman law: \"A man is presumed to live one hundred years,\" a presumption which one would like to be irrefutable. According to Dupin, \"The true Paris edition of 1769 is the one to be preferred.\" Last edition in 1785.
